I think becoming a change agent is a great idea, but isn't the idea of leaving the sheep to their own devices kind of contradictory to what we want to achieve?

I mean, that might mean abandoning family, friends etc instead of trying to reveal what's realy going on. And, hypothetically, what if someone else was thinking the same thing and you were among the sheep? Would it be unfair that they thought themselves too superior to spread the news?

I think Jesus had the right idea when he asked that we treat others as we would like them to treat ourselves. We may gain allies in places we'd least suspect.
